Margaretta Schools uses an automated notification system via One Call Now. This system will enable the district to quickly notify parents and students of situations within the district. The most obvious of these are two-hour delays and school cancellations, but the system is capable of much more.

Q: What time will I receive a call if the school is delayed or closed?

A. You will receive a call at approximately 6:00 a.m. if the decision has been made to delay or cancel school. Radio and TV stations will still be notified.

Q: I did not hear/receive a message. Can I listen to it again?

A: You can call 1-877-698-3261 (toll free) and press option # 1. You may be prompted to enter your primary phone number or any other number associated with your account before the latest message is replayed.

Q: Can I remove myself from the One Call Now call list?

A: There is an option at the end of every call to remove yourself from the list. However, we do not encourage this. There may be times when emergency messages are sent out to parents and it is our hope that we can reach all of our families immediately.

Q: Why does One Call Now call me back and repeat the message?

A. One Call Now recognizes if a caller hangs up before the completion of the message. If this occurs within the first 20 seconds, One Call Now will consider it a dropped/unaswered call and will the repeat the entire process.
